NOTE  1^1^ 

A  CATALOGUE  of  the  European  and  American  paint- 
ings in  the  Museum  was  undertaken  nearly  ten  years 
ago  by  M.  Jean  Guiffrey,  then  Curator  of  Paintings 
here,  now  Conservateur  des  Peintures  in  the  Musees 
du  Louvre.  He  wrote  descriptions  of  the  more  im- 
portant paintings,  and  collected  many  data  for  the 
catalogue.  His  work  was  translated  into  English  by 
Mr.  Richard  Norton;  later  the  translation  was  re- 
vised and  many  more  descriptions  added  by  Mr.  Mor- 
ris Carter.  With  the  constant  aid  of  Mrs.  Grafton  L. 
(Dorothy  Usher)  Wilson,  I  have  revised  and  in  part 
rewritten  the  material  thus  available,  and  have  com- 
pleted the  work.  For  the  attributions  and  for  many 
useful  suggestions  Mr.  John  Briggs  Potter,  Keeper  of 
Paintings,  is  responsible. 

The  book  is  published  in  a  preliminary  edition,  not 
as  a  defmitive  catalogue  of  paintings,  for  two  reasons: 
first,  in  the  hope  that  it  may  be  useful  as  it  stands  to 
visitors  and  to  students  generally;  secondly,  to  serve 
as  the  basis  for  a  scholarly  catalogue  when  the  oppor- 
tunity may  come  for  its  preparation.  It  includes  all 
the  paintings  that  are  regarded  as  of  any  importance 
for  the  student  of  paintings;  about  half  of  them  are 
ordinarily  on  exhibition,  while  the  remainder  may  be 
seen  on  request.

34  Marriage    of    St.    Catherine;    attributed    to    Lippo 
Memmi. 

Against  a  gold  background  enclosed  by  a  border  design 
in  black  and  red,  the  large  figures  of  Christ  and  St.  Cath- 
erine stand,  at  right  and  left,  on  a  narrow  red  platform 
which  separates  the  main  picture  from  three  smaller 
scenes,  forming  a  sort  of  predella.  St.  Catherine  at  the 
left  extends  her  right  hand  toward  the  Christ  who  places 
the  ring  on  her  fourth  finger;  in  her  left  hand  she  holds 
a  black  book  and  a  palm  branch;  she  wears  a  white  tunic 
covered  with  an  elaborate  design  in  red  and  gold  and  a 
crimson  mantle  lined  with  white;  her  golden  hair  is 
crowned  with  a  jewelled  diadem  and  her  name  is  in- 
scribed at  the  sides  of  her  halo.  The  Christ  wears  a  black 
mantle  over  a  crimson  tunic,  and  with  His  left  hand  holds 
a  scarlet-covered  book;   His  halo  is  divided  by  the  cross. 

In  the  space  between  these  two  figures,  is  a  group 
painted  on  a  very  much  smaller  scale:  on  a  settle,  deco- 
rated with  geometric  patterns  in  intarsia,  the  Christ  child 
stands  between  the  seated  Virgin  and  St.  Anne.  He  is 
dressed  in  a  rich  gold  brocade,  and  looks  toward  St.  Anne 
who  offers  Him  a  rose;  a  little  bird  is  perched  on  His  out- 
stretched right  hand. 

The  predella  is  divided  into  three  sections:  at  the  left, 
St.  Margaret  (red  robe)  and  the  Devil;  at  the  right,  St. 
Michael  (embossed  white  robe  and  pink  mantle)  and  the 
dragon;   in  the  centre,  two  young  noblemen  in  rich  gar-

ments,  who  have  thrown  down  their  weapons  and  embrace 
each  other,  under  the  influence  of  an  angel  who  stands 
behind  them  with  wings  outspread  and  one  hand  resting 
on  the  back  of  each  young  man.  On  the  edge  of  the  red 
platform  is  written  Arico  di  Ncri  Arighetti  fcce  fare  questa 
tavola,  "  Arico  di  Neri  Arighetti  had  this  picture  made."

gin seated  on  the  ground,  her  hands  clasped;  at  the  right,

express  profound  grief.  The  Virgin  wears  a  red  tunic 
and  a  blue  mantle;  St.  John  wears  a  tunic  of  lighter  blue 
and  a  red  mantle;  the  gold  background  has  a  delicate 
tooled  border.

Belsiiazzar's  Feast.  478 

Belshazzar  is  seated  at  the  left  upon  his  throne  under  the 
seven-branched  candlestick;  near  him  stands  the  queen, 
supported  by  two  Egyptian  female  slaves;  the  prophet 
Daniel  stands  nearly  in  the  centre  of  the  foreground,  point- 
ing with  his  left  hand  to  the  handwriting  upon  the  wall;  on 
the  right  are  four  figures,  the  astrologers  and  soothsayers 
who  were  "unable  to  read  the  writing  or  interpret  the 
meaning  thereof."  Between  them  and  the  prophet,  and 
somewhat  farther  back, is  a  group  in  shadow, whose  devout 
postures  indicate  that  they  are  Jews;  one  of  the  women 
kneels  in  an  attitude  of  reverence,  while  another  reaches 
forward  to  touch  the  garment  of  the  prophet;  behind  these, 
and  forming  a  part  of  the  same  group,  is  a  youth  in  armor. 
The  middle  distance  is  occupied  by  the  banquet  table,  be- 
hind which  sit  horror-stricken  guests;  large  columns  sup- 
port a  gallery  filled  with  spectators  in  attitudes  of  wonder 
and  excitement;  at  the  head  of  a  flight  of  steps  in  the  centre 
is  a  large  idol,  brilliantly  lighted.    Unfinished.

M.  F.  A.  Bulletin,  I  (1903),  p.  5.  The  following  is  a  resume 
of  this  article: 

Mr.  Izard  was  a  resident  of  South  Carolina;  his  wife  was 
Miss  AHce  Delancey  of  New  York.  Copley  met  them  in 
Italy  in  the  winter  of  1774,  and  painted  this  double  por- 
trait in  Rome.  It  is  the  first  group  painted  by  him,  and  he 
then  considered  it  his  masterpiece.  Owing  to  the  troubles 
which  preceded  the  American  Revolution  Mr.  Izard  did 
not  take  the  picture,  and  Copley  carried  it  to  England  the 
following  autumn.  In  1825,  ten  years  after  Copley's  death, 
Mr.  Charles  Manigault,  grandson  of  Mr.  Izard,  purchased 
the  picture  of  Mrs.  Copley  and  it  remained  in  the  family 
until  it  was  sold  to  the  Museum. 

Watson  and  the  Shark. 

The  painting  depicts  the  rescue  from  a  shark  in  the  har- 
bor of  Havana  of  Brook  Watson,  afterwards  Lord  Mayor 
of  London,  who  lost  a  leg  in  the  adventure.  He  described 
the  incident  to  Copley,  when  a  fellow  passenger  on  the 
voyage  to  England.  Two  men  in  a  small  rowboat  are 
attempting  to  save  a  naked  swimmer,  one  of  whose  legs  has 
been  bitten  off,  from  a  shark  which  is  about  to  snap  at  him 
again;  there  are  seven  other  men  in  the  boat,  some  are 
rowing;  one,  standing  with  his  foot  on  the  gunwale  is  aim- 
ing a  harpoon  at  the  shark,  while  a  negro  beside  him  has 
thrown  a  rope  to  the  swimmer.  In  the  background,  at 
right  and  left,  are  frigates  and  the  fortifications  of  the 
harbor.
